Well-Suited Work Options to Sharpen Up Your Office Style

 Contrasts: Experiment with contrasting lapels, collars, bags and sleeves as seen on the DKNY and Moschino FW11 runways.

It’s the age-old dilemma for the working girl: How does a girl pick and mix current trends into her work wardrobe?

This season there are a number of looks that can be easily translated into worthy work wear.

A little pop of color, a statement accessory or piece of jewelry will easily update your office wardrobe and give you a look that would standout among the crowd.

Check out our looks below--they're even suitable for the most conservative of workplaces. After all, it pays to dress smart to get noticed, and help yourself get ahead.

Midi-skirt length
Choose a midi length skirt as seen at Chloe. It’ll not only make you look like a lady, but will keep your legs a little warmer too!

Pussybow blouses
No more excuses for wearing that plain Jane shirt! Swap it out for a lady-like pussy bow blouse like the one featured on Dolce and Gabbana's FW11 runway.

Brights
Be brave and stand out by wearing a colorful trouser or suit instead of your old, boring black standby as spotted at FW11 Matthew Williamson.

Accessories & Jewelry
Add a pop of color with eye-popping shoes, tights or bag (like the one shown on Loewe FW11), and dress up basics with over-sized statement pieces, like the necklace showcased at Proenza Schouler's FW11 runway.
